270206 is a poetic, minimalistic duet brought to the stage by Daniela Georgieva und Hugo Le Brigand. Inspired by the movement language of 1960s Judson Dance Theater, the two dancers sound out the limits of their own and each other’s bodies, finding impressive images for the zone between closeness and distance.
Daniela Georgieva and Hugo Le Brigand reflect on physicality and community as basic conditions for humans’ being in the world and as the current response to physical distancing and uncertainty. In their choreography, they explore how the ego evolves in exchange with the other and in the course of time and how perceptions of the self and their localisation in space shift. The dancers become a fragmented ‘We’, feeling the limitations of their own and each other’s bodies and following the sound and intensity of movement, touch, and encounter.
Hugo Le Brigand is a dancer who lives in Vienna. In 2019, he showed his solo sans-culottes, which was produced by brut Wien/imagetanz. In 2018, he received the START scholarship for music and performing arts and in 2017, he was a selected participant of ImPulsTanz’s danceWEB programme. Hugo Le Brigand studied at the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD) in Salzburg.
Daniela Georgieva lives and works in Düsseldorf. Since her studies at the Düsseldorf Academy of Arts, her work has been interdisciplinary, spanning the fields of visual art, music, performance, and dance. Daniela Georgieva’s first institutional performance work, quixotic essence of a breath of movement/1x3 was presented at Neuer Aachener Kunstverein in 2021.
The show on 12 November will be followed by an artist talk, moderated by Anne Faucheret.
